Decapsulated Brine Shrimp Eggs

[Ken B]

Does anyone have experience using decapsulated brine shrimp eggs to feed new free swimming fry?

Hi Ken, so you got some baby severums?

Not yet but I want to be ready. I also have some geos who are getting ready to spawn. I have hatched so many brine shrimp in the past and it is a lot of work and takes up a lot of space. If these will work and the fry eat them that would be so much easier. I already ordered some and I will try them when I have some fry to try them on.

I am also thinking about setting up a tank of daphnia. that looks pretty simple and might be a good alternative early food.

Check out kens fish. I just bought decapsilated brine shrimp eggs for my geo fry. I have been using a diy gel food that works awesome for fry 1 week old

I grow my geos out to 2-3" in about 3 or 4 months using my gel food

If you don't want to do gel food I used this for the 1st month and they grew fast. http://www.kensfish.com/cgi-kensfish...d3703a707524bc

Looks like a very good product and sure beats hatching brine shrimp! Thanks Adam!

Jewel cichlids spawned today. Not too excited about jewels but good to have spawning activity.

Got the brine shrimp in from kens. Will update you on how effective it is

I will be testing it in a few days when the little wigglers start swimming.
